Keeping Animals Healthy website launched

The newly designed "Keeping Animals Healthy" website has been launched by the
Animal Health Institute (AHI) .

This website www.keepinganimalshealthy.org is aimed to help consumers and
policymakers better understand the important role of public policy in providing
animal medicines to keep both animals and humans healthy.

"Americans are
becoming more aware of the relationship between animal health and public
health," said AHI President and CEO Alexander S. Mathews. "Thoughtful public
policies are needed to manage the risk of diseases that can be spread between
animals and humans."

The website explains the advocacy positions taken by
AHI to promote animal health and gives the public information regarding the
rigorous, science-based review processes in place at the federal agencies that
regulate animal health products.

"The public and policymakers at the
federal, state and local levels are more nterested than ever in ways to protect
human health by protecting animal health," said Mathews. "We hope this website
is a valuable source of information for those interested in effectively
protecting animal health."
